Alcoholism and drug addiction create a ripple effect that emanates from the active alcoholic addict and washes over the lives of those closest to them.
Family and friends of the active alcohol/addict struggling to keep their own heads above water may have unwittingly enabled the substance abuser to continue in their addiction. By paying the addicts bills & making excuses, you are enabling them to continue with other abhorrent actions doing more harm than good....

Relationships are the ones you have, the ones you want and the ones you can not live without. Each relationship we have with another human being plays an intricate roll in who we are and who we will one day become. But which ones can harm us? In some cases it is easy to tell the difference.
It is no secret that abusive or cruel people should be kept at bay. But there are some lines that are not as clear.
For instance what do you do if a wonderful person comes into your life at the wrong time? Or vice versa, if you meet someone great....

"We know that treatment is just the beginning of a lifelong recovery journey..."
For many of us going home is sometimes the hardest part. This disease has left lives disrupted that can make it difficult to move to the next step. Support & guidance in the form of directions is needed along the way.
The Watershed Alumni staff is committed to providing that critical support for every member of the extended Watershed family. Our telephone, e-mail and "realtime" internet chat provide multiple points of contact....

Today was definitely interesting… to say the least! Staying clean is always a struggle, I think we can all relate to that. However no matter how hard it gets, the tough times can often be reminders of all the beautiful relationships we have developed since getting clean. Today was one of those days for me.
This morning I woke up with a really uneasy feeling, I have spent my whole life battling anxiety. I always stress about doing well, and worry that I can’t. So when I got up with a knot in my stomach, it was not a foreign feeling. And I knew exactly why I was nervous, today I have 60 days clean....

Letting the past haunt you can be a really hard thing for someone in recovery. Sometimes for no reason at all I will get a cringe of a memory or something will remind me of a person, place, or thing from my past. Things I had done, people I did not treat well, or behaviors that really can make me sick if I think about it for too long.
Sometimes people can say something you need to hear at the exact right moment and it is exactly what you need to hear.
A random person once told me DO NOT LOOK BACK, YOU ARE NOT GOING THAT WAY! I have since repeated this to myself every time I have these flashbacks into my past....
